χ: Picture size (diag.) (in/cm)

The formula for picture size and projection distance

L: Projection distance (ft/m)

[Feet/inches]

[m/cm]

L1: Minimum projection distance (ft/m)

L1

(ft) = 0.0325χ / 0.3048

L1

(m) = 0.0325χ

L2: Maximum projection distance (ft/m)

L2

(ft) = 0.03761χ / 0.3048

L2

(m) = 0.03761χ

H: Distance from the lens center to the bottom of the image (in/cm)

H (in) = - 0.29601χ / 2.54

H (cm) = - 0.29601χ

Note

Refer to page 18 concerning “Projection distance [L]” and “Distance from the lens center to the bottom of the image [H]”.

There are some errors in the values in the diagrams above.

Values with a minus (-) sign indicate the distance from the lens center below the bottom of the image.
